Chicken in hot coconut sauce

If you have had Thai chicken red curry sauce and loved it, this recipe is for you. It does not use any red curry paste and I have experimented with some indian ingredients and it turned out super delicious

Add Jeera powder, red chili powder, garam masala and fry for a minute. Add coconut cream (only the part that floats at the top)

Add chicken pieces, continue frying, add Soy sauce and salt.

Add Bamboo shoots and remaining coconut cream. Bring it to boil.

Add all vegetables and chilies, continue simmering for a minute.

Garnish with Coriander leaves.

Many thanks, for getting back, dear Mr. Shah. Thanks, also for letting me know the dish you prepared using Tofu as an alternative, tasted much better than you had expected. By the way, nice tip, gentleman, I shall try tofu too, whenever a dish calls for the usage of chicken. You be well, bye now, Sincerely, Shweta.

Mr Shah

Hello Lata / Shweta, Just wanted to share with you that the recipe came out even better with Tofu and everyone enjoyed with fried rice and now i know what you mean by " the part that floats at the top" in coconut milk. thank you very much once again.

Mr Shah

Dear Shweta and Lata, greatly appreciated your prompt response and i will make it tonight and share with you guys tomorrow how it was. Thanks once again both have a nice day.

Hello Mr. Shah, hope, Miss Lata might come up with her version, later on. But since you said you were in a hurry, I, as a khana khazana member, would like to take the liberty of adding my two cents, since I have the experience of using canned coconut milk myself since ages. You may find, a thick layer of coconut cream floating on the top while the pale and watery portion of it remaining in the bottom, when a can of coconut milk or cream, that stood on the cool shelf for some time, is opened. According to my grasp of Miss Lata's narration above, she may be refering to the same floating cream supposed to be used in the recipe. Have a Good day, Mr. Shah.

Hi Mr. Shah, when you open coconut milk can, you will see the top part is very thick (basically, it's coconut cream from milk.)If you are not mixing them well before you open the can. If you can't get it, just use 1/4 of the can. Yes! You can use tofu. Test will be equally good ;-) Thanks.....ENJOY!

Mr Shah

Dear Mrs Sreeanka roy, bamboo shoots are the budding and tender parts of young bamboo plants. Since ages, people, mainly from Eastern cultures, have been using these for human consumption. You can find the canned ones sold in some East Indian and Chinese isle of Grocery stores, if you are living abroad.
